REMUS A MYSTERY.
Search For Miss Nina Miller, of
Milan, Still Being Prose
cuted. VAEI0US THEORIES ADVANCED.
Slay Have Dom Away With Herself in m
Fit of Despondency Over III Hem lth
Father of Missing- (Url Is of the Relief
That She Was Kidnapped From Her
Room.
Thorough search of the surround
ing country ami communication with
various towns have failed to develop
information that will in any way as
sist in explaining the "'range disap
pearance of Miss Nina Miller, of Mi
lan. The people of the town are
much stirred over the case, and are
advancing different theories in their
endeavors to account for the mvsteri-
ous actions of the young lady.
John Miller, her lather, visited nock
Island police headquarters yesterday,
leaving: a photograph of his missinr
daughter with Chief Millar to aid in
the search, in which tne local onicers
are cooperating. Miss Miller was
auburn-haired and rather attractive.
While of an unusually joviil nature.
and apparently in good spirits, it is
said her health was poor, ami tne
gravest fears are .that in a lit of de
spondency she destroyed nerseu. pos
eiblv jumping: into the Hennepin
canal, in which there are several holes
made by the ice harvesters.
Some are inclined to the belief that
Miss Miller is temporarily deranged
and is wandering about. Following
this theory, parties yesterday scoured
the country in the vicinity of MiUn
in hopes of getting a cine, but in
vain.
And on top of this theorizing gossip
has a story to the effect that Miss Mil
ler may have eloped, connecting the
name of a well known young man of
Milan, who is also reported missing
fromhoms, with the affair.
Father Thinks tier Kidnapped.
Mr. Miller, in talking of the case
today, said after a thorough investi
gation, taking into consideration the
condition of the room, he was reason
ably sitislied his daughter had been
kidnapped. lie said he could not
think of his daughter killing herse'f
or going away without leaving some
word .f explanation, as he had al
ways leen happy and ontented. her
every wish being gratified, and the
mnst affectionate relations existed l3
Iween every member of the family.
